Gynecological Surgery
Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. This procedure may be done because of fibroid tumors, endometriosis or cancer.
Traditional open gynecologic surgery uses a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy. For complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery may be a more effective, less invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the robotic-assisted surgical system can operate with greater precision and control, potentially minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
Before you decide on surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks and benefits of each treatment can help you make the best decision for your individual situation.
